You’d tell yourself it’s nothing.

That it’s just a moment, just being there, just something casual that doesn’t mean anything beyond what it is. You’d try to keep it simple in your head, try not to read into it, try not to let it go any further than it should.

But you’d feel it.

Not all at once.

Slowly.

In the way you’d start paying more attention, in the way you’d notice small things you wouldn’t normally notice, in the way your mind would stay just a little more focused on me than you planned.

And that’s when you’d catch yourself.

Trying to pull it back.

Trying to stay neutral, stay detached, stay in control of it before it turns into something you didn’t expect. You’d remind yourself not to get too comfortable, not to let it mean more than it should.

But it wouldn’t work the way you think it will.

Because it wouldn’t be obvious.

It wouldn’t be something you could clearly point to and say that’s why. It would be subtle, in the way the energy feels different, in the way the silence doesn’t feel empty, in the way being close doesn’t feel casual anymore.

And that’s what would get to you.

Because you wouldn’t be trying to avoid me.

You’d be trying to avoid how it feels.

Tessa’s Straight-Up Perspective

You don’t try not to get attached unless something is already pulling you in.
